PM Surya Ghar Yojana: Karnataka beneficiary thankful for zero electricity bill

Digital Desk | Mangaluru, Nov 3 (IANS) The 'Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana', that provides for solar installations to beneficiaries, has come as a relief for households which earlier faced soaring electricity bills. In Karnataka's Mangaluru, Arun G. Shet said that his monthly electricity bill, which was earlier more than Rs 3,000, has now come down to zero after installing solar panels. He also receives reimbursement for surplus electricity supplied to the grid. Shet added that the scheme has brought significant financial benefits while contributing to environmental conservation. Speaking to IANS, the beneficiary said: Rooftop solar panels have transformed his household's electricity expenses. Earlier, I paid more than Rs 3,000 every month as electricity bills, but after installing solar panels, his electricity bill has come down to zero. The excess electricity generated is supplied to the power grid, for which I also receive reimbursement. Arun G. Shet estimates that he will recover around 65 to 70 per cent of his investment within two-and-a-half years. He added that the solar panels can provide electricity without additional costs for the next 20 to 25 years. According to the Mangaluru resident, the initiative is not only reducing household expenses but also helping conserve the environment. Expressing his gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the scheme which encouraged households to adopt rooftop solar panels, Shet said: The financial benefits through reduced electricity bills and payments for surplus power make the scheme useful. He also suggested increasing subsidies and providing zero-interest loans to encourage more families to install solar panels. Earlier, another beneficiary from a village in Chhattisgarh had echoed a similar view. Previously, Mahendra Pratap Sinha used to pay electricity bills ranging from Rs 1,000 to Rs 6,000 per month. He was distressed by these recurring high bills. Consequently, he opted to install solar panels at his home under the 'Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana', which has now eased his electricity expenses. The beneficiary installed a solar panel system with a capacity of 3 kilowatts. Speaking to IANS, Sinha expressed that installing the solar panel under the Prime Minister's free electricity scheme has been highly beneficial for him.

Heavy rains in coastal Andhra under Cyclone Murasus impact

Digital Desk | Amaravati, Nov 3 (IANS) Heavy rains continue to lash south coastal Andhra Pradesh under the impact of severe cyclonic storm 'Murasu', which crossed the coast in the early hours of Tuesday. Gusty winds uprooted trees and electricity poles in a few places, while heavy rains inundated low-lying areas, disrupting normal life. Crops were damaged, and electricity supply was disrupted in the affected districts. No loss of life has been reported. The severe cyclonic storm crossed south Andhra Pradesh coast between Nellore and Narasapur close to between 3.30 a.m. and 5.30 a.m. with the wind speed of 100-110 kmph gusting to 120 kmph. Widespread rainfall was recorded in Prakasam, Bapatla, Palnadu, Krishna, Eluru, and West Godavari. Officials said that since Monday, the state has recorded an average rainfall of 20.38 cm, with Bapatla district receiving 21 cm and Prakasam district receiving 20 cm. Heavy rainfall is expected to continue in the districts of Bapatla, Guntur, and Prakasam until Wednesday morning. The sea conditions along the coast in Bapatla district were rough due to high waves. At Suryalanka beach, the seawater had come out to about 50 metres inland due to strong waves. Officials noted that the average rainfall deficit in the state has decreased from 53 per cent to 28.9 per cent due to the rains brought by the cyclones Arnab and Murasu. According to the Andhra Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority (APSDMA), heavy rains are likely in Polavaram, Kakinada, NTR, Krishna, Bapatla, and Palnadu districts in the next few hours. Moderate rainfall is likely in Manyam, East Godavari, West Godavari, Konaseema, and Eluru districts. India Meteorological Department (IMD) said that Murasu is likely to move north-northwestwards and gradually weaken into a deep depression by Tuesday midnight. It warned of extremely heavy rainfall in coastal Andhra Pradesh, Yanam and adjoining Telangana on Tuesday and very heavy rainfall in coastal Andhra Pradesh and Yanam on Wednesday. Residents in the affected areas have been advised to remain alert and follow official weather updates and safety instructions. Meanwhile, Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu reviewed the impact of the cyclone from the Real-Time Governance Society (RTGS) Centre at the Secretariat. The Chief Minister inquired with officials about various aspects, including rainfall recorded in different regions and the intensity of the winds. He stated that precious lives were saved by keeping the public alerted at all times. He also mentioned having called up his Tamil Nadu and Karnataka counterparts to seek their cooperation in restoration works. He directed officials to analyse the incoming data and ensure that the administrative systems operate effectively in response to the situation. The Chief Minister emphasised the need for data-driven decision-making in every aspect. Officials said a 2 per cent reduction in the rainfall deficit was recorded over the last 24 hours and a further 2 per cent reduction is expected over the next five days. Groundwater levels have risen by 0.45 metres in a single day. It is estimated that groundwater reserves could be recharged by 20 to 30 TMC (thousand million cubic feet). Ponds and minor irrigation tanks are estimated to have received up to 10 TMC of water. Officials reported that 7 to 8 TMC of water has reached the reservoirs.

Siddaramaiah expressed dissatisfaction with sting op probe during meeting with LoP Gandhi: Rajanna

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Nov 3 (IANS) Former Karnataka Chief Minister and Congress Working Committee member, Siddaramaiah, reportedly expressed dissatisfaction over the probe in the sting operation controversy, during a 45-minute one-on-one meeting with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in New Delhi, insiders stated on Tuesday. Significantly, the comments by Rajanna came on a day when Prajwal Prasad appeared before the Central Crime Branch (CCB) police in Bengaluru on Tuesday in connection with the investigation into the fabricated sting operation targeting Siddaramaiah. It can be recalled that Siddaramaiah met senior party leader Rahul Gandhi amid the ongoing controversy surrounding the alleged sting operation linked to him. According to party insiders, Siddaramaiah discussed the developments surrounding the sting operation, the factors affecting the party's image and the damage caused to his personal image. Former Minister and Congress MLA, K.N. Rajanna, a close associate of Siddaramaiah, said the latter had expressed his concerns over the developments surrounding the sting operation controversy during his recent meeting with Rahul Gandhi in New Delhi. Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru, Rajanna said he had spoken to Siddaramaiah before the latter left for Delhi but had not got an opportunity to speak to him after his return. During his visit to Delhi, Siddaramaiah discussed in detail the developments surrounding the sting operation, the factors that could affect the party's image and the damage the controversy could cause to his personal image. He conveyed these concerns during a one-to-one discussion. This is what I have gathered, Rajanna said. He added that he would speak to Siddaramaiah personally to understand the developments in detail. Rajanna insisted that the truth behind the sting operation should emerge, irrespective of whether the investigation was conducted at a higher or lower level. Whether it is a high-level or low-level investigation, the truth must come out. There is no question of compromising on this. An appropriate investigation should be conducted and the facts should be brought to light, he said. The remarks come amid unconfirmed reports that Siddaramaiah had expressed dissatisfaction over the investigation into the sting operation controversy and had reportedly indicated that some insiders had conspired against him. Significantly, the comments by Rajanna came on a day when Prajwal Prasad, who allegedly works for the social media team of Union Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel, H.D. Kumaraswamy, appeared before the CCB police in Bengaluru on Tuesday in connection with the case. The CCB had issued a notice to Prajwal Prasad, who is accused of handing over a mobile phone to content creator Ritesh Kumar Pandey at H.D. Kumaraswamy's official residence in New Delhi. Prasad, who has obtained interim bail from a court, appeared before the investigating officers on Tuesday morning. Bengaluru Police Commissioner Seemant Kumar Singh had said the mobile phone allegedly used to upload the sting operation video was purchased in Delhi and brought to Union Minister Kumaraswamy's official residence on Kushak Road. According to the police investigation, Ritesh Pandey, who was arrested in New Delhi by Bengaluru City Police, disclosed that he had purchased the mobile phone in Karol Bagh along with Vinod Sharma, allegedly on the instructions of Prajwal Prasad, who is stated to be associated with Kumaraswamy's social media team. The device was subsequently brought to Kumaraswamy's official residence and allegedly handed over to Prajwal Prasad. The police are investigating the exchange of the mobile phone between the two and the financial transactions that reportedly took place after Ritesh Pandey purchased the device. The police expect Prasad's questioning to provide further clarity on how the video was circulated. Once we get information from Prajwal Prasad, we will have a clearer picture of how the video was circulated. After Ritesh Pandey purchased the mobile phone, there was a financial transaction between the two. There was also an exchange of the mobile phone. We expect to get clarity on these aspects, Police Commissioner Seemant Kumar Singh said.

Coimbatore prisoner who escaped custody twice questioned for second day

Digital Desk | Chennai, Nov 3 (IANS) A 25-year-old remand prisoner, who escaped from police custody twice within 24 hours before being arrested from the Sathyamangalam forest area in Erode district, was questioned by Coimbatore police for the second consecutive day on Tuesday. The accused, Raghavan, also known as Kozikaran, is being interrogated by the Racecourse police to establish how he managed to evade security personnel and travel to the forest area after escaping from the premises of Coimbatore Central Prison. Police sources said investigators were examining whether Raghavan received assistance from anyone during his escape and subsequent movements. His statement has been recorded, and further questioning is underway to reconstruct the sequence of events. Raghavan was apprehended during a nighttime operation after a special police team located his hideout using drone surveillance. Following his escape, six special teams were constituted to trace him. The search extended across Erode and the Nilgiris districts, besides neighbouring Karnataka and Kerala. Acting on intelligence that he was hiding in the Sathyamangalam forest region, police intensified surveillance and deployed drone cameras to identify his location. The team surrounded the area and arrested him. Raghavan, a resident of the Sri Lankan Tamil Rehabilitation Centre at Bhavanisagar in Erode district, faces several criminal cases, including robbery and theft. The accused has a history of escaping from police custody. In June 2026, he reportedly escaped while being transported to Bengaluru. Police arrested him on October 30, but he managed to escape from Annur police station that evening. However, officers immediately pursued and apprehended him. Later that night, four police personnel, including a sub-inspector, escorted him to Coimbatore Central Prison for remand. While being taken into the prison premises, Raghavan allegedly assaulted the accompanying personnel and escaped once again, triggering a major security alert. The incident prompted authorities to suspend all four escorting police personnel for alleged negligence. A separate case was also registered in connection with the escape. Investigators are examining the circumstances that enabled the accused to repeatedly evade custody despite being under police escort. Police are expected to produce Raghavan before the jurisdictional court after completing the interrogation and make arrangements for his detention under enhanced security to prevent another escape.

Sting operation exposes Congress' internal power struggle, claims Karnataka BJP

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Nov 3 (IANS) Alleging that the internal power struggle within the Congress has spilled into the open, Karnataka BJP President B.Y. Vijayendra on Tuesday questioned the state government over the motives behind the sting operation targeting former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and demanded that it clarify who was behind the operation and whose interests it sought to serve. He said reports had emerged about Siddaramaiah expressing dissatisfaction over the developments, while his son had also made statements on the issue. Union Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy had held a press conference and raised several serious questions, he added. Instead of targeting Kumaraswamy for political reasons, Home Minister and other Congress leaders should answer questions about the actual purpose of the sting operation, who conducted it and whose interests were involved, Vijayendra said. He was speaking at a press conference ahead of the BJP's launch of its nationwide public awareness campaign, 'Save Democracy, Remove Anarchy' in Kolar on Tuesday. BJP National General Secretary and Karnataka in-charge Harish Dwivedi, former Chief Minister and BJP Parliamentary Board member B.S. Yediyurappa, Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Assembly R. Ashoka, Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Council Chalavadi Narayanaswamy and other senior party leaders were scheduled to participate in the padayatra. Vijayendra said the campaign was aimed at defending the country's democratic system and the dignity of constitutional institutions. He alleged that Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, were continuously spreading misinformation about constitutional institutions because they could not tolerate Prime Minister Narendra Modi's popularity. He accused the Congress of attempting to create an impression that the BJP government at the Centre had come to power through unfair means. Having been rejected by the people, the Congress was unable to accept the electoral mandate and was attempting to create confusion and an atmosphere of anarchy in the country, he alleged. Vijayendra accused the Congress government of neglecting unemployed youth despite nearly 2.5 lakh government posts remaining vacant in Karnataka. He said unemployed youth across the state were protesting against the government over allegations of irregularities in the Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) recruitment process. He also alleged that the government had failed to effectively defend the reservation issue before the Karnataka High Court. Young people had spent years preparing for competitive examinations and waiting for recruitment, but the government's negligence had left their future uncertain, he said. The government itself had created a situation in which unemployed youth were forced to take to the streets, he alleged. Accusing the Congress government led by Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar of burdening people with price hikes during Deepavali and Kannada Rajyotsava, Vijayendra criticised the increase in milk and curd prices and the proposed hike in bus fares. He said the milk price revision, announced as an increase of Rs 8 per litre, had resulted in an additional burden of up to Rs 12 on consumers through various price revisions. While welcoming the decision to provide Rs 7 from the increased amount to milk producers, he said farmers deserved better prices. However, the government should have borne the financial burden of providing incentives to farmers instead of transferring the entire burden to consumers. He also objected to the increase of around Rs 14 per litre in curd prices, saying it had added to the financial difficulties of ordinary families already struggling with rising prices of essential commodities. Vijayendra said the results of the recent Legislative Council elections had reflected public sentiment against the Congress government. He alleged that the Congress had deceived people after making hundreds of promises before coming to power. Despite senior Congress leaders holding meetings and engaging in political discussions, they would not be able to suppress public anger, he said. He expressed confidence that voters would give the Congress government an appropriate response in the forthcoming bye-elections, including the one in Hiriyur.

BJP backs Amit Shah's remarks on infiltrators, says Opposition fears deletion of their names from voter lists

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 3 (IANS) The BJP on Tuesday rallied behind Union Home Minister Amit Shah's remarks on infiltrators. Justifying his remarks, many BJP leaders concurred that that several opposition parties, who apparently banked on support of 'infiltrators' in influencing the poll outcome, were now apprehensive as the process of deleting such names from electoral rolls has begun. BJP Bihar President Sanjay Saraogi said that Amit Shah was absolutely right and had repeatedly raised the issue on various platforms. Amit Shah was absolutely right. He has been saying this repeatedly on every platform, but these people are neither able to see nor hear it. In Congress-led states like Karnataka and Kerala, one crore names have been deleted in Karnataka. Senior ministers there are saying that the SIR was conducted properly, he said. BJP Telangana President Ramchandar Rao said that Amit Shah's padayatra in Hyderabad had received a good response and that the Home Minister had clarified the party's position on the issue. Yesterday, Amit Shah's padayatra was a great show in Hyderabad. He clarified to the people that Congress wants infiltrator voters to remain on the voter list so that they can win elections. They have won elections in many states because of infiltrators, and now that the process of deleting these voters has started, they are afraid, he said. Bihar Minister Ram Kripal Yadav also backed the Home Minister's remarks, saying that the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise had identified three crore people who had allegedly got their names illegally included in the country's electoral rolls and were consuming its resources. Home Minister Amit Shah was absolutely right. The SIR exercise clearly identified three crore people who had illegally got their names added to the country's voter list and were consuming the country's resources. Action must be taken against such people, he said. However, JD(U) National General Secretary Shyam Rajak said that ensuring the accuracy of electoral rolls was the government's responsibility and that officials and election authorities should also be held accountable for any irregularities. The question is not about Rahul Gandhi or Amit Shah. It is the government's responsibility to do its job. If someone is here illegally, has come from another country and got their name registered, then somewhere your own officials and election authorities are responsible for these mistakes. There is no need to look for who made the mistakes now. Remove whatever is incorrect and re-enter the names of those who are eligible, he said. Meanwhile, addressing a gathering during his padayatra in Hyderabad on Monday, Amit Shah alleged that the Congress was opposing the SIR exercise to protect Bangladeshi infiltrators from being removed from electoral rolls. By opposing the SIR, the Congress party wants to protect Bangladeshi infiltrators in the country's electoral rolls. But I have come here today to say that Rahul ji and Revanth Reddy ji can put in as much effort as they want. The BJP will ensure that every single infiltrator is removed from the voter list and driven out of the country, he said. He further alleged that the Congress and its allies were opposing the SIR because infiltrators constituted their vote bank, adding that the BJP stood firmly behind the exercise. Only those who are citizens of this country will be allowed to vote here, HM Shah said.
